I got the same thing with the last patch I submitted. I don't know how 
long before the next time, so we'll see.

In any case, try leaving just the local part of a file you have not 
changed since the change, and do "cvs stat" on it. See if it is 
identified as "locally modified". If it is not, I would suspect 
something with your local cvs has changed.

 Are you, by any chance, using Debain unstable, and doing apt-get 
dist-upgrade occasionally? Are you using cvsup to work with a local 
repository? The reson I am asking these questions is that these are the 
distinguishing charactaristics of my config that I could think that may 
affect this. If one of them is there, we can pretty much suspect that it 
is the curlpit.
